I said it before, and I’ll say it again, the first 6 albums have already been remastered, so why do it again? They sound perfect to me, no reason to keep messing with perfection.
Is your post supposed to be to the tune of the first song from Point of Entry?
No Shannon, just a coincidence.
This sucks…it just reminds me of how bad they were on this tour and how good they used to be. I heard the samples of Panama and Runnin with the devil and the bass playing sucks, both songs are very slow, the background vocals are weak without Michael Anthony and Roth is toast…talk about a money grab! Come on VH, put out a show that matters from 82 or 83, not this crap. No DVD must be because Roth looks like an ass doing his kicks and stuff that are a shell of what he was…I was interested but not after hearing this…Eddie and Alex want to just act as if Michael Anthony doesn’t exist, but although Wolfgang can play, he is no Michael Anthony…Live Without a Net with Hagar and Anthony blows this away…
It would have been great to hear “Me Wise Magic” performed live.
They miss Michael Anthony’s background vocals. Anthony was such an integral part of their sound. It is a shame.
SO TRUE!
Van Halen sucks now. Michael is needed and they know it. Wolfgang? Please.
I’m sure I’ll buy this, but I prefer live dvds over live albums. 25-30 years ago was a different story: I loved live albums back when I was younger. Unleashed In The East, Live After Death, Strangers In The Night, Made In Japan, MAIDEN Japan, Alive, the list goes on and on. I could put headphones on, sit back and listen to entire live albums start to finish. These days, I’d rather just watch a live performance on dvd.
